Chastise

I wanted to tell you...but I was afraid  
Let me cover the backdrop in scratches of gray  
Leave a letter...it's better...  
I'll write it down  
Just a couple of things I'm noticing now.  

I won't chastise all that we are  
Because you and me baby  
Are shooting stars!  
I won't chastise!  
That's not who I am!  
Don't chastise me baby  
I'm just a man  
 
I'm sorry I said the things I said.  
I was looking for someone to blame  
I'm soft on the inside  
I'm sweet underneath  
It just takes me a little preparing  
To get to the one that you need.  
 
I won't chastise...  
It's bad for us both...  
You're the only love...  
That I've ever known...  
 
I won't chastise all that we are  
Because you and me baby  
Are shooting stars!  
I won't chastise!  
That's not who I am!  
Don't chastise me baby  
Please understand  
 
I know I'm not always there when you need  
I don't always listen...  
I'm too quick to speak...  
All of the things that drive you insane...  
The sweet things about me fall around you like rain...  
 
You never chastise...  
You don't let the heaviness in ...  
There's Teflon  
in place of your skin.  
 
That's why no matter what happens at all  
Even if I build the highest of walls  
One thing remains...  
One thing won't change...  
I'm gonna love you until my last day  
 
I won't chastise all that we are  
Because you and me baby...  
Are shooting stars!  
I won't chastise!  
That's not who I am!  
Because you and me baby...  
Are shooting stars!
